If a firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, it is essential to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and wait a few seconds before attempting to clear the issue. This precaution is crucial as there may be a delayed fire situation, and keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction ensures that in case the firearm does discharge unexpectedly, no one will be harmed. Patience and proper handling are key in this situation to prevent any accidents. It is important to avoid immediately trying to clear the firearm, as this could potentially cause a discharge if the issue is related to a hangfire.
